British director S.J. Clarkson will be directing the first two episodes of Marvel’s The Defenders.
Clarkson has a strong track record in genre television, helming episodes of Life on Mars, Heroes and Marvel’s Jessica Jones. She will also serve as an Executive Producer on the premiere episode. The 8-episode limited series is slated to debut in 2017.
Marvel’s The Defenders’ official description says that the show “follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.”
“S.J.’s take on the material is outstanding. We loved her work on Marvel’s Jessica Jones and couldn’t think of a more talented and accomplished person to helm the first two episodes of “Marvel’s The Defenders,” Marvel’s Head of Television and Executive Producer, Jeph Loeb explained.
